Designed for high-volume small-cell, microserver, broadband access and video applications, the ECP5 FPGAs are claimed to feature twice the functional density of competing devices in a tiny 10x10mm package. They are also claimed to cost 40% less and consume 30% less power compared to other options. More than 100 customers with early access are already using CP5 devices and boards to build solutions that perform critical bridging and interface functions including LPDDR3, PCI Express, MIPI, Ethernet, and USB3.0.
Lattice will also offer ECP5 hardware development boards based on the 85K LUT (look up table) LFE5UM-85 devices this month. Lattice Diamond design tool, development boards, soft IP library, reference designs and hardware demonstrations are also available to help customers in product selection and speed time-to-market.
Jim Tavacoli, Senior Product Marketing Director, Lattice, commented: “Customers are fully enabled to implement their ECP5 designs quickly and also easily meet their need for high-performance and flexibility.”
